As of 1925, the village of Bursuki was the center of the Bursukovsky village council of the Nazranovsky district of the Ingush Autonomous Oblast of the North Caucasus Krai, which also included the Nazran fortress [ru]. The village consisted of 492 households, 2472 people lived in it (1217 males and 1255 females). The settlement at the Nazran fortress included only 13 households, 121 people lived (69 males and 52 females). The village had 2 wells, a primary school, 14 small industrial enterprises (including 12 mills and 2 forges), a state sack point, and 2 party organizations. Also, one school of the first stage was located in the settlement at the Nazran fortress.[18]

From 1944 to 1958, during the period of the deportation of Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the village was called Khordzhin (translated from Ossetian — "fruitful").[19][20]

As of January 1, 1990, the village was the center of the Barsukinsky village council, which also included two small farms — Tibi-Khi and Blue Stone. In the village itself, on that date, 3002 people of the actual population lived.[21]

In 1995, the village of Barsuki was abolished and included in the city of Nazran as one of the administrative districts.[22] In 2009, on the basis of the abolished Barsukinsky administrative district, withdrawn from the city, the village of Barsuki was recreated and a municipal formation was formed on its basis with the status of a rural settlement as part of the Nazranovsky district.[12][13]
